What is a honeycomb drum in washing machines?

In today's world, it is simply impossible to live without technology. Appliance manufacturers are constantly looking for new solutions to create improved products. The honeycomb drum in a washing machine is an innovative invention that provides huge opportunities for customers.

The drum in a washing machine is in the form of a small tank made of stainless steel. It has many holes for the washing process. Each manufacturer independently determines the size of the drum and the number of holes, but this does not greatly affect the process itself.

The big disadvantage of using a washing machine is the wear and tear of the clothes. When the drum rotates at high speed, the threads rub against it, and over time lose their original appearance. When washing, the fabric gets caught in the holes during the intense pushing of water. Many washing machine manufacturers provide multiple washes at once to nullify the fraying process, but that doesn't help much. The honeycomb drum was made specifically to ensure that even after numerous washes, clothes will retain their appearance.

• It is distinguished by its smoothness., so fabrics are less likely to wear out during the wash. It is produced thanks to the method of rolling, so it is durable and sturdy.
• The small diameter holes are responsible for water circulation, allow water to stay in the drum longer and protect the fabric from friction due to the thin film of detergent. Also, the small holes practically do not drag the fabric when you spin it.
• The honeycomb drum has a special design of concave honeycomb structure, which reduces the friction of the clothes against the drum walls.
• For reduce energy and water consumption washing machine with a honeycomb drum is the ideal solution.

The only disadvantage is the cost, because new technology always costs more. Some users believe that it is not worth overpaying on such a purchase, although they recognize its superiority.

Miele, one of the popular manufacturers of washing machines, came up with an original solution in 2001 - the creation of a honeycomb drum, which resembles a honeycomb bee house. It has small round holes with a radius of only 1.65 mm. Their number is much smaller than in a conventional drum. This option is superior to the conventional drum in many ways. A washing machine with a honeycomb drum does laundry neatly. The fabric practically does not wear out, even during the spin cycle. Small holes also "tighten" the clothes, but with less force than a conventional drum.

Even visually, the honeycomb drum looks smoother, the depressions are almost imperceptible. And the washing process itself is no different than a regular washing machine.
